if you want to lose everything you've installed you can also press F10 on startup. that will even take you back to the introduction when you first turned on the pc. you will lose everything though. i do this one every year. if you don't have discs for everything you'll lose any software you've installed.

that's what i would normally do. doing it from the start up screen takes it back to day 1. if you have bad viruses or glitches, system restore on start up is better.

This only works if you have a backup partition on your computer. This is what most manufacturers have done instead of handing out Windows disks.

project 64 is a nintendo 64 emulator.

I am on a mac and have parallels installed has xp virtually. i just click the start menu at the bottom in my dock where it says "start" i dont need the windows key on keyboard when running in coherance mode. but if i use xp in full screen mode(dont see os x) then i just hit the command key(the one with the apple logo) it uses it as a windows key where start menu pops up or i could click start the regular way //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif but to tell you the truth i dont need the windows side that often, its only for little programs, i use it mainly for the GPS software i have that is windows compatible only at the moment
